I’m the ordinary Mom to 3 extraordinary sons. Hubby is exceptional. Dogs are adorable. Skinny pigs are sweet. Cats are sketchy.

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer is a holiday classic.
While the animation was done in the United States, nearly the entire voice cast was Canadian.
These are the Canadians who brought the story to life.

The same people demanding you present a photo ID to vote are perfectly fine with letting you be arrested, handcuffed & thrown into a van by armed men wearing plain clothes, face masks & presenting no identification of any sort.

My campaign has become a rudderless shambles, I keep demonstrating I'm not even remotely nimble where addressing new issues is concerned, and there's a tremendous amount of in-fighting amongst my team, but I can assure Canadians a Poilievre government will be nothing like my election campaign.

There’s so much GOP cope happening today.
“At least Wisconsin approved voter ID so libs can’t cheat”
Wisconsin has required voter ID since 2015.
You spent millions of dollars and got your ass kicked for a rule that already existed and that fundamentally changes nothing.

This is the most unhinged government email I have seen since January 20 — and, likely, ever (and I reviewed all of the Clinton White House's DOMA records).

This is pretty much it.
If all these Conservative Premiers and Captain Shortpants are doing so well with gimmicks and slogans, why should the government put any effort into actual policy and explanations?

Others have noted it but I will too: The big reason Bluesky is so hot right now is that the people who add value to social media - the frequent posters in specific fields - are here now, talking to each other and creating the "spectator value" that draws users and attention.
Twitter’s heir apparent isn’t X or Threads — it’s Bluesky

Poilievre's Conservative Party, per its members:
"Everybody is being watched. What we say, what we do, who we talk to. We're told not to fraternize with MPs from the other parties. And that's not normal.
Those who follow these rules are rewarded. Those who don't often have to suffer consequences."

Let’s talk about the difference between good-faith and bad-faith disagreements — and whether an echo chamber is really such a bad thing.
